Dr. Aparna Rao, added “MUN Conferences include structured debates, documentation, resolutions, reading international policies and out of box solutions for issues in the world. They are an empowering experience for students as they bridge the gap between students and real-world diplomacy. Students develop skills necessary for asking the right questions, leadership, critical thinking, leadership and negotiation skills and most importantly, receive and provide criticism.
